Quite honestly, it has taken me over a year and several consultations to find a great doctor I'm comfortable with...
I had my Nose lift, and liposuction fat removal under my arms done under the care of Doctor Raynald Torres. I’m very pleased to say the results surpassed my expectation. I am so happy & very delighted meeting such a wonderful, brilliant, caring and humble doctor and his entire crew. The ambience of the clinic was totally awesome and has very reasonable prices, and even so, worth every penny! Trust me when I say, treatment was fantastic.
Doctor Raynald Torres and his assistant really made me feel at ease, and the entire team were very accommodating & excellent in every possible way!
Thank You, Doctor Raynald Torres! For the superb service, the wonderful advice and treatment, and for the amazing natural look. Plus your Excellency!

Plastic Surgeon Consultation

Breast Implants

What is breast augmentation? Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure of placing special implants under your breast to enhance its size and shape. The procedure is done under general anesthesia. It is usually an out patient procedure though the patient may opt to be admitted in the hospital for one day. What is the difference between silicone filled gel implants and saline filled implants? There are two kinds of implants approved for breast augmentation -saline filled and silicone gel filled implants. I personally prefer using silicone gel filled implants because of its softer and more natural feel compared to saline. Saline implants also have to be filled during the surgery which runs the potential of contamination with bacteria or fungi inside the implant, though this is rare. Where are the incisions placed? I offer 3 types of placement of incisions. Peri-areolar, inframamary and axillary. I personally prefer a peri-areolar incision since this is the most hidden location. The scar is where the skin meets the areola and when healed, is unnoticeable. However, this might be not possible in women who have very small areolas wherein other sites might be of benefit. An inframamary incision is placed on the skin crease or fold. This type of incision is best for breasts that have some volume on the lower pole thus having a very well defined crease to hide the incision. A trans axillary approach is also an option for women with very flat breast and small areolas. However, there is a risk of a visible scar in the armpit area. What is better, putting the implant over or under the muscle? The breast implants are positioned either over or under the pectoralis major muscle. I personally prefer an implant placement under the muscle. The advantage of this is a more natural appearance of the breast, more tissue to cover the implants, parti

The Thermage treatment by Joan was exceptional. The clinic has great service.
The staff were very informative and professional.
The information they provided was accurate and the time in the clinic was well spent. Highly recommended and swift communication. Joan was always willing to answer questions and confirm details via email very quickly and even after the treatment she has been very helpful. I will be returning to this clinic.

Rating from 2 ReviewsReally good and very professionalMel, Las Piñas, 17 Oct 14

Their clinic looks expensive, but the price is very competitive. I had been to clinics in Medical Plaza and I prefer Cosmedics. They equally have great receptionist, both have license and trained doctors. But when it comes to non surgical treatment that is not performed by a Doctor, I prefer Cosmedics. The nurse who is giving me the RF Face treatment and Derma Clear is really good and very professional. She always checks with me and verify if I’m satisfied while proceeding with the treatment. I like it very much. I don’t have pictures while doing the treatment because I always fall asleep during the process and I don’t like being photographed sleeping :)
If you’re not into make up like me and prefer it bare, like baby powder bare, try Cosmedics. Less cosmetics, go to Cosmedics :)
